College crime against students is a very real issue in today’s dangerous world. Crime in this nation is increasing dramatically and getting worse. Parents need to understand that college campuses aren’t isolated from crime. Rape is the most common crime on college campuses and college students especially women are stalked more than any group of people. Assault is another very real problem as well, particularly for female college students.
Campus officials are reluctant to share the truth about crime on campus because it’s not good for business. Parents visiting for orientation or walking along during the campus tour with their child better find out the facts about crime on campus. Legislative changes are compelling colleges to accurately report crime statistics. Here are a few sobering facts:
Rape is the most common violent crime committed on college campus.
The National College Women Sexual Victimization Survey found 20 to 25% of college women are victims of sexual assault or attempted sexual assault during their college years.
Women ages 16 to 24 experience rape at rates four times higher than the assault rape for all women making the college and high school years the most vulnerable.
9 in 10 college women who are victims of rape know their attacker.
Nearly 70% of female victims of attempted rape and 55% of female victims of rape reported using physical force against their attacker to protect themselves.
34% of rapes and 45% of attempted rapes of college women take place on campus.
Almost 60% of the rapes that take place on campus occur in the victim’s residence.
These realities are the reason The Extreme College Survival Kit was put together. Designed with the personal safety and protection of the college student in mind. Especially, female students living off-campus or attending urban universities. This kit is the perfect gift or care package for living safely in these dangerous times and will give parents peace of mind that their daughter is not defenseless while away at college.

Home invasion robbery is one of the more frightening and dangerous crimes that can happen to a family. A home invasion robbery is when robbers force their way into your home, condo or apartment to commit robbery and possibly other crimes. Some consider home invasion a residential form of carjacking and it’s on the rise. There are major differences between residential burglary and home invasion. For instance, residential burglars work mostly during the day when a home is more likely to be unoccupied. Most work alone and looking for the right opportunity. Alert neighbors, barking dogs, strong locks and doors can sometimes deter burglars. Most burglars avoid confrontation and there is seldom violence.
Home invasion thou is a totally different situation and robbers are seeking homes that are occupied and often work at night and on weekends when families are more likely to be in the home. They’ll target home wealthier homes or maybe a senior citizen they perceive has money and items that can be converted to quick cash in the residence. Often, home invaders have been in your home before as a installer, handyman or delivery person. These criminals seldom work alone and once you’ve been targeted they’ll sometimes just kick open the door and confront and terrorize everyone inside. However it’s more common for these thugs to just knock on your front door or ring the door bell. People still open doors before checking and once the doors open they’ll coming rushing in using fear and intimidation to control their victims. Some robbers after gaining control, will eat a meal take a nap or even watch TV. But a major concern is that the brutal home invasion escalates to more violence like sexual assault, rape or even murder. Many of these thugs are bold enough to kidnap a victim and force them to withdraw cash from an ATM or take a small business owner to their business and rob it as well.
As simple as it sounds, planning and education will protect your family from being victimized by a home invasion. Parents should have a meeting to discuss a plan of action when a strangers at the door. I recommend having a couple 1lb Wildfire Pepper Spray cannisters at strategic places in the home. Install 3″ screws in a heavy duty strike plate of the door frame and make sure the door is solid and if your door doesn’t have a peephole install one. Also, remembering the following will keep your home secure…
Use door peephole BEFORE opening door
Never open the door to strangers or solicitors
Keep garage door closed and doors locked
Never rely on chain-latch as a barrier to a partially opened door
Install motion activated spot light hidden camera DVR at entrance of your front door

College students are living in dangerous times especially when it comes to crime against women and here are a few facts:
Every 2 minutes someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted.
College age women are 4 times more likely to be victims.
1 of 6 American women will be assaulted in their lifetime.
Approximately 75% of rape victims know their attacker.
Only 6% of rapist actually spend time in jail.
It’s always important to be aware of your surroundings and who might be stalking you because a sexual predator is looking for an easy prey. A woman talking on the phone, texting or searching through her purse as she walks makes an ideal target for an attacker to victimize. He can launch a surprise attack on his victim and quickly overpower you. Women exercising in public parks or jogging on side streets with headphones also are an inviting target to be raped or abducted. Also, the number one place women are abducted or attacked is the grocery store parking lot followed by office parking lots/garages and public restrooms. Most sexual predators are looking to quickly grab their victim and take her to a second location where he doesn’t have to worry about being caught. That’s why under no circumstances allow an abductor take you to another location. Again, Never, Never, Never allow him to put you in his car or yours. Fight, scream or just pretend to faint but your chances of survival are much greater if you stay at the site of attack. College students must take responsibility for their own personal safety and remember it takes just seconds for an assailant to overwhelm you when he attacks. Unfortunately, law enforcement usually gets involved after the crime. So, the only one you can count on to rescue you during an attack is YOU! Students, I know money can be tight but a $10 Wildfire key chain 18% pepper spray can save your life.

Urban university crime is real in St. Louis, MO and the same can be said for most if not all urban communities in the United States. One good way not to be victimized by a street thug or sexual predator is to acknowledge the fact that crime is real and be vigilant about your personal safety. An attacker can overwhelm any naive college student in seconds so it’s imperative for students especially females, take precautions to protect themselves against a violent surprise attack or rape. Again, crime is real and I’m always amazed when I see a female Washington University St. Louis, MO student walking alone late at night with ear buds blasting from an iPod totally oblivious to her surroundings as she texts with her phone.
Any student this stupid better be carrying Mace pepper gel or Wildfire pepper spray because it’s only a matter of time until she’s another FBI urban crime statistic.

Today, colleges and universities are required to alert students and faculty about crimes that pose an ongoing threat. Your daughter will be exposed to new surroundings the moment she walks onto campus. Especially, if she’s living off-campus. There are predators who actually stalk female college students waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Rape, sexual assault, robbery, burglary and theft are crimes that affect university and college students whether on or off-campus. The Extreme College Survival Kit is a necessity for today’s urban college environment.

Crime is real in most urban communities and St. Louis, MO has been plagued in recent months and the past school year with rapes on or near SLU and Washington University St Louis, MO campuses. Overnight car break-ins of vehicles parked on city streets of CWE, South City, Soulard and parking garages of the county have been a frequent occurrence all of which were reported by local news media so more detailed facts available online. Random shootings in downtown St Louis and surrounding neighborhoods of the city is a significant problem that’s out of control. When traveling throughout the city and shopping at retail stores, please use common sense and not leave packages or valuables visible in your vehicle. Downtown St Louis living requires residents to be vigilant about personal safety and always be aware of surroundings. Some residents of the renovated areas of downtown such as Washington Ave, Locust and Lafayette Park carry non-lethal self defense products such as the Taser C2 for added peace of mind against an attack.

As dangerous as on campus living can be off-campus is much worse I’m sad to write. Your daughter must be aware and ready to defend herself against crimes such as rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault and mugging. Too many parents think that when they send their daughter off to college, the campus and surrounding neighborhoods are safe and free of crime. This naive assumption is also shared by many students so their guard is always down making them a perfect target to be victimized. Remember, every type of crime is possible on campus but especially off-campus where campus police can’t protect you and the surrounding neighborhoods may be the responsibility of multiple police departments. For example, Washington University St Louis, MO is part of an urban community that include WUPD, Clayton Police, University City Police, St Louis County and St Louis Metropolitan Police depending on what part of the surrounding campus community your traveling at the time. So, in the event of crime. There is often confusion which municipality has responsibility for patrolling a specific part of town. Since many college students living off-campus are transient, they may not be aware of these facts. University students that commute via walking, bicycling or use public transportation need to be vigilant when it comes to safeguarding their personal safety. Parents can’t always expect university authorities or local law enforcement to be candid about the real dangers of thugs and sexual predators stalking new freshman class of women. Parents please do what you can to inform your child of the realities of living away from home and purchasing non-lethal self defense items such as MACE pepper gel or Stun Master Pen 1.2 Million Volt Rechargeable Stun Gun as a close encounter self defense weapon. These are just a couple of many non-lethal personal protection products that have proven effective in stopping an attacker in his tracks.

It’s a must for anyone especially women attending college to always carry non-lethal personal protection such as a Stun Master pen stun gun with 1.2 million volts of electricity and it’s rechargeable so there are no concerns about having to buy batteries. Stun guns are designed to give you the protection you need when being attacked. Stun guns such as the Stun Master Pen 1.2 Million Volt Rechargeable Stun Gun are one of the most effective and efficient non-lethal personal protection available on the market today that can be purchased inexpensively online. A stun gun is a non-lethal self defense weapon that uses electricity to temporarily incapacitate the attacker. When applied to an attackers body, it works by disrupting the brains communication by sending various signals all at the same time. It makes the muscles work rapidly resulting in loss of energy and confusion which immobilizes the assailant for about 10-15 minutes allowing you time to safely escape and contact law enforcement. Because this device uses the high voltage low amperage technology, there is no permanent damage to the attacker and he’ll fully recover.
Again, stun guns work on high voltage low amperage technology. High voltage is not harmful but the amps are. Just one amp can kill a person however most stun guns only have 3 milliamps and is the reason why there is no permanent damage to the attackers body. Also, there is no danger to you. The electricity from the stun gun is dumped into your assailants body and dissipates into his muscles. So you will not be electrified even if he grabs onto you or is touching your body. Even if standing in water, you will not be electrocuted. Crimes such as rape, sexual assault and robbery are rampant on and off college or university campuses. In my own urban community of St. Louis, MO there have been numerous violent attacks upon students at UMSL, Washington University St. Louis, MO and SLU the past 12 months. Of course campus authorities don’t always tell the full truth about crime on and off campus. Especially, off-campus in the sketchy areas or fringes surrounding the campuses filled with predators salivating at the new freshman class of young women nearby. The best thing parents can do is take matters into their own hands and give your daughter or loved one a fighting chance and possibility of escape by providing her with a Stun Master pen 1.2 million volt rechargeable stun gun with built-in flashlight for self defense against any thug that dares to attack her.

St. Louis, MO women don’t be this victim: A woman shopping alone leaves a shopping mall via the elevator to the poorly lit parking garage. She’s running a few errands after work and she already has experienced a stressful day. As she walks to her SUV in the parking garage, she’s thinking about what to cook for dinner for her family. Suddenly, she realizes that it’s the wrong floor but remembers her SUV is at the end of the ramp on the next level. It’s the farthest from the elevators but first open stall she found in the parking garage. Having arrived to her parked SUV, she digs in her purse for keys and opens the rear driver side door to load packages she just purchased.
As she does, an attacker grabs her from behind and has her in a choke hold…she’ll be another sexual assault victim because she never made her personal safety a priority and carry at least a key chain Wildfire pepper spray for non-lethal self defense against an attacker.
Attacks on women in public parking garages and lots are on the rise in Saint Louis, MO and across the nation. But here’s how you can reduce the chances of being victimized…
Be aware of your surroundings and whenever possible, park as close as you can to the elevators or main entrance to the mall. Already have keys in hand and Taser C2 Pink with Laser Sight where you can quickly get it from purse.
As your walking to your car, be especially aware of the people around you and places a rapist might launch a surprise attack. Also, if a shady looking person walks by you…trust your instincts! Never turn your back to a potential threat or assailant. They’ll often double back and attack you violently and fast.
If you are ever physically assaulted with no personal protection available, and the attacker clearly wants the car, give it to him and run in the opposite direction. However, if the thug plans on hurting or abducting you, fight for your life. Absolutely under no circumstances do you get into any vehicle with him, his or yours.
Again, if it appears that an attacker plans to rape or abduct you… FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER get into any car with him!
